Reading aloud textbooks is said to be an effective instruction in developing English performance. Some literatures point out that, for learners who are not good at reading aloud, it is difficult to memorize English words and they are less likely to be interested in English. Unfortunately, however, there seems to be a lot of high schools where few opportunities of reading aloud through textbooks are provided, because most of the class is focused on grammar translation. It seems that the number of college students who are not good at reading is increasing year by year. Therefore, we examined what kind of impact reading aloud had on learners' motivation toward English learning. Our research has shown that this instruction greatly enhanced their psychological desires such as self-confidence and relationship between students and teachers, and their extrinsic and integrated motivation. This result is caused by two kinds of instructions, the one that promotes learners to understand the meanings, and the other that leads learners to recite discourse. Reading aloud textbooks would be beneficial to high school students or university freshmen.
